2 fireballs do more damage than pyro yet it costs 8 Mana allowing you to cast frostbolt for a total of 15 damage for the same cost.
Fireball costs 4 Mana deal 6
Frostbolt costs 2 Mana deal 3
1 more damage costs 1 Mana
Do the math!
4 + 2 + 1 equal 7. Pyroblast should cost 7
Back at launch it was 8 which was pretty close but not very accurate
Wisp is a 0 mana 1/1 therefore a 2 mana minion should have infinite attack and health.
Sure but pyroblast can’t hit hero’s then. Also it’s all ready broken 10 dmg in 1 card that can be played for free
When 2 cards are combined, the resulting card must be weaker in some way for balance.
The old value vs tempo conundrum.
Basically, the advantage of having 2 cards in one…only requiring one card draw & card slot in the deck.
Nah. Just nerf Fireball.
Nerf it to 5 damage. 5+5=10 with a manacost reduction cus it costs more cards.
Y’all are whooshing hard on this one.
0mana fireball deal 6dmg, Pyroblast should cost 0.25mana!
Pyroblast should have a 49,84% chance to critically hit for 200% dmg.
Or change the text of the Pyroblast.
Critically hits for 300% dmg. Base chance to critical hit = 0% when played for 10 mana. Chance to crit increased by 20% by every additional mana spent (max 100% at 15 mana)
“But how do you get to 15 mana??”

I need to say this here.
The original version of pyroblast back in beta was meant to be 8 Mana but was nerfed to 10 Mana due to mage’s aggressive tool kit often creating scenarios were it finalized games to consistently.
With that said the aggressive mage decks aren’t even supported anymore at standard.
So it IS reasonable to revert pyroblast to it’s original form.
they need to bring tempo mage back. I hate the current standard decks.
Less mana or more damage isn’t really the way to buff this.
Instead, it would be better if it did 10 damage to a random enemy minion (that’d be worse than the 3 mana Deadly Shot which basically does infinite damage and ignores DS) + 10 damage to the enemy hero, or something like that.
How about we go with 10 dmg to all enemies?
Get a big enough Pyroblast going and you can just carpet bomb the entire board with it.
Do the math, Pyroblast is one card and two fireballs + Frostbolt is 3.
Mana cost is not linear.
how about:
They should make a tavern brawl that gives both players decks of nothing but 0-cost versions of that.
Trying to evaluate the “proper” cost/damage/stats of a card by comparing it to other cards isn’t really reliable. Each card is unique.
maybe he was wrong when comparing like that.
however, “pyroblast” is just too expensive.
It takes 2 mana and reduced 2 dame to keep only 1 slot (compared to using 2 fireballs). And remember that the current meta is getting faster and faster and the minions are getting stronger.
In my opinion, the price of 7 or 8 mana for pyro is reasonable.
Even better, just change the card to Cast when Drawn.
